I saw one a month or so ago near the Lantana that was very light colored, or even white!
They vary from very light brown to very green out here.
Praying mantis are fascinating creatures! Actually by the name I was thinking maybe he was in the mob or something. I’m Welsh, if you learn any more good words pass them on to me. That’s a fantastic photo.
Thanks, Holly. Shehanne wants to know all the curse words and how to order drinks in Welsh. I’ve learned beer, wine, leeks, sausage, house husband, dragon, nurse, shop, electrician, unemployed, etc. plus various things about Megan’s “teits” in the first lessons. Thinking about “Dw i’n golchi teits Megan.” got me hooked.
Whoa! Amazing picture, Tim! But, that praying mantis is quite ugly if you ask me. Sorry. As for you studying Welsh how cool is that! Way to go! More NEW coming from this phase of history. I love it!
Ewww! Shivering. Still shivering. Calming down, now.
Your shot is spectacular. The insect is from outer space.
It’s scarier than a brilliantine stick insect.
Welsh is interesting…. huh!
Welsh is weird. My roots might have something to do with my weirdnesses. Praying Manti are really cool insects, they are master predators. Thanks, Resa.
Gweddïo Mantis
Off Center & Not Even 
Beautiful 🙂
Thanks, Gabriela.
Amazing photo, Timothy! This insect has always been a bit creepy to me. 😊
I love them. They are amazing predators. Thanks, John.

Fabulous photo, Timothy!
Thanks, Dale.
A beautiful Mantis portrait, Tim!
Learning Welsh sounds fun.
Spelling Welsh is not fun. I have a hard enough time with English. But it is fun to learn. Thanks, Lavinia.
Such details…cool capture Timothy ☺️
An amazing animal with a Welsh name that seems to have the perfect symbol for a Mantis in itself with the trema ï .
I hadn’t thought about that. Thanks, Puzzleblume.
That looks like a creature from an ‘Alien’ movie… Great shot, Tim!
AND it is just two words here too. Great capture.
Amazing sisn’t it? Thanks, Shehanne.
Your photographs are always amazing.
Thanks, Shehanne. I’m happy you can enjoy them.

Hi AmyRose. I think a lot of mosters have been based on praying manti.
LOL Agreed!!
Up this close, they kind of remind me of a land lobster!
I’m not familiar with the land of lobster. Thanks, Tiffany.
Great macro, fine details
Thanks, Harry.
I’m sure H.R. Giger must have studied creatures like him… Great capture …and name! 😉
I would say you are right. Thanks, Marina.
